    Cool Pictures from your village/town/city

    Baia Mare (also known as Nagybánya and Frauenbach)


    View from the nearby mountains - awe inspiring, isn't it?


    Rivulus Dominarum at sunrise...


    Some buildings from the old town and a crippled tree - don't worry it recuperated...


    Stephen's Tower - the town's symbol...


    No, I don't live in Heaven... It's just that I don't have the heart to show you the part of the town the communists built...


    Hopefully one day I'll be able to post pictures like these:

    I live in Gloucester....or in Roman times Glevum.. Roman municipality of Colonia Nervia Glevensium..edited on advice of Osweo..


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloucester


    The existence of a British settlement at Gloucester (Caer Glow, Gleawecastre, Gleucestre) is not confirmed by any direct evidence, but Gloucester was the Roman municipality of Colonia Nervia Glevensium, or Glevum, founded in the reign of Nerva. Parts of the walls can be traced, and many remains and coins have been found, though inscriptions are scarce. Evidence for some civic life after the end of Roman Britain includes the mention in the Historia Brittonum that Vortigern's grandfather ruled Gloucester. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Gloucester passed briefly to Wessex from the Battle of Deorham in 577 until 584, when it came under the control of Mercia.

    Things you didn't know about... Gloucester
    Think you know Gloucester? Here are a few facts about the south-west city that might surprise you...

    Gloucester is home to the world's oldest backgammon set
    The world's oldest backgammon set, which is thought to date from 1120 and is decorated with risqué pictures, was first owned by Walter of Gloucester. He discarded it in a cesspit when he became a monk to show his renunciation of gambling.



    Gloucester is the birthplace of the vacuum cleaner.
    The vacuum cleaner was invented in Gloucester in 1901 by Hubert Cecil Booth. The original model was powered by petrol and parked outside a house while large cleaning tubes were fed in through the windows. It was so large that horses were needed to move it.



    Gloucester gave the world a ski legend
    Britain's first (and ill-fated) Olympic ski jumper, Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, used to train on Gloucester's dry ski slope.



    Cajun culture comes to Gloucester
    The biggest festival of its kind in the UK, the Gloucester International Cajun and Zydeco Festival brings Louisiana to town each January, with dance and instrument workshops, jam sessions and spicy Cajun food.



    Beatrix Potter was inspired by Gloucester
    Peter Rabbit creator Beatrix Potter was inspired by a local legend to write The Tailor of Gloucester. In the story, mice come to the rescue of a poor tailor when he falls ill, finishing the coat he is making.



    Matches made in Gloucester
    One of Gloucester's main industries in the 20th century was matchstick production. The famous brand "England's Glory" was founded in the city.



    Edward II rests in Gloucester
    In 1327, Edward II met a grisly death involving a red-hot poker and is now buried in Gloucester.



    Harry Potter was filmed in Gloucester
    Gloucester Cathedral's historic cloisters were transformed into Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the filming of JK Rowling's first two books, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.



    The Star-Spangled Banner flies in Gloucester
    In memory of Gloucester organist John Stafford Smith, who wrote the American national anthem, the US flag flies from Gloucester Cathedral.



    Stop here and buy one
    Ice cream makers Wall's have their biggest plant in Gloucester. Built in 1959, it produces favourites including Vienetta and Magnum

    Have you noticed that if you rearrange the letters in ‘illegal immigrants’, and add just a few more letters, it spells, ‘Go home you free-loading, benefit-grabbing, resource-sucking, baby-making, non-English-speaking ********* and take those other hairy-faced, sandal-wearing, bomb-making, camel-riding, goat-f*****g raghead c***s with you.?

    Buna, Daos

    As you send very nice pictures of Romania, perhaps you should help me...........
    I explain my research

    Familia mea a avut o casa in Bucuresti, 27 strada Negustori. Această casă a fost achiziţionat de către străbunicul meu în 1841, şi are dispărut, probabil în timpul interbellica. Caut o fotografie veche de pe strada Negustori pentru a vedea casa asta.
